Remsburg letting the match continue despite knowing that someone has deliberately kicked him in the dick has annoyed me way more that it probably should’ve done

Decided to take a risk as I felt it was too good to miss and have booked tickets for Amity Affliction in Cardiff tomorrow night.

Excited to be honest but going by myself I'm expecting to be towards the back/sides unless I can sort out the disabled viewing area, but all the same nice to be back at a live gig.

Nothing wrong with flying solo at gigs, but I’m with you in that when I do I’m more in a spot to watch & enjoy the show rather than get in the thick of anything.

I went to see Lorna Shore last week and managed to get a good central spot right in front of the sound-area (soundboard? Mix desk? Whatever you want to call it) and I’m glad I did as the stuff going down in the pit looked fucking ridiculous. I’m too old for that sort of shit as it is, I’m quite happy to be the person at the side of anything who jumps in to help anyone that hits the deck, but there were people throwing fucking roundhouse-kicks and all sorts of other stupid shit. They had to stop briefly because an actual fight broke out in the crowd, which I’ve not seen happen for about 20 years, least not to that scale. Usually anything that does start tends to settle down quite quickly

There were some PPV shows where WWE's own masters were ruined or unavailable, therefore transferred from a home VHS copy. I can't remember which shows but I'm sure one of my old colleagues will chip in with what they are... 

So not everything is as well preserved as you would think in their archive. 

I can remember OSW Review mentioning about this in their Wrestlemania IX review and they had a side by side comparison of the Silver Vision version and the Wrestlemania Anthology version. I believe they described the difference as “like looking at a photograph from the 1700s”

To coincide with their new album, Mastiff have just announced some dates for next March 

Finally got round to watching this yesterday, and echo what's been said about the main event. Fantastic stuff from both men.

I don't watch the show regularly, only on a case by case basis depending on what's on, but there was enough here that I wanted to watch the full show.

Some of the promo work throughout it though, ye gods. I'm not as taken with Toni Storm's new act as others are, but she was great with her "you think you're spooky now? I can do spooky.....BLEH!", but to follow that up with whatever that Skye Blue promo was, fucking hell. If she was doing it live then she needs some serious work before she's ever let anywhere near a live mic, but if it was pre-taped and that's the best they could do then everyone involved with it needs a serious talking to.

Then you had Miro and CJ's bit later on that was just as bad. Miro being a wrestler you have a certain expectation of what he can deliver, but CJ is supposedly an actress.

Nigel McGuiness is still an annoying tit and not in the good heel commentator sort of way, but at least Tony Schiavone has been moved into leading the whole thing

Figured bumping the thread was the best place for this.

WWE are ceasing with Home Video releases

I know you can get away with it now as there are two world title's again, but christ, that as a Mania 40 title match is up there with the Swagger/Del Rio's of the world.

As I said, it’s purely what I think we’ll get, not necessarily what we will. 

And even if that match does happen, give the people a reason to get invested in it and a reason to watch it and it’ll be fine, it’s a long time between now and April. Both guys are more than capable of putting on something worth watching, much more than those two shitarses at 29.

I was absolutely certain last night was going to be the cash in, after that match with jay it would have been perfect. Seth holds it for longer unfortunately 

At the risk of sounding like Fantasy Booking, which is always shit, I reckon Priest cashes in at the Royal Rumble.

- Rumble Match opens the night with Drew winning. 
- Rollins retains against whoever (Balor perhaps?) and is all “OK, so that’s me v Drew at Mania”. 
- Priest cashes in so you’ve got Priest v Drew instead, and you can do Punk v Rollins at Wrestlemania because that’s what people decided was happening as soon as Punk got fired from AEW

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s what I reckon we’ll end up with

Actually it isn't - I saw the photos in WWF Magazine then was disappointed not to have that colour Bret in the game regardless of how many Brets appear. It's because for the motion capture process certain colours gave them problems capturing all the details so they had to record the wrestlers wearing one colour then digitally colourise them the right colour later.

Thats what I thought it would be at first, and I remember the Red Undertaker that @mim731 posted (which does look awesome), but thought it might be the other due Bret still having black elbow pads and black on his tights and boots.

And here he is going very off-brand for the sake of motion capture. Or, getting lamped by a Putty Patroller in a WWF X Power Rangers project that never saw the light of day?

 

I actually quite like that, and I’m surprised that there’s been no wrestling Joker adopt it on the indies.

Its been probably about 25 years since I played that game but I’m assuming that’s the alternative skin should you do a Bret v Bret match?

For anyone that wants to see it, now that they’ve basically been forced to release it

Cheers fellas. I looked on their social media a little while ago but couldn't find anything recent. Shame, be nice to know they're OK after spending a couple of hundred hours with them this year.

Funnily enough, after we were saying all this the other day, Adam has posted for the first time in a while 

As some of you saw back in July I’ve been working hard to lose some weight this year.

Had my final weigh for the year this morning, and since January 1st I’m down a total of 64lbs.
While progress has slowed down since around August, which I knew would happen at some point, I have still managed to lose something each month apart from one, where I gained 1lb in October.

At the risk of sounding like I’m putting myself over, I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved. It’s been hard work and while I’d still like to lose a little more (maybe another 20lbs would take me just under 15st), I feel physically better than I have in many years

Very special guest on that Sunday 4th stage down. Couldn't be Deftones could it? Seeing as Crosses are right before it?

 

They kissed and made up with Manowar after their tiff the other year.

Only joking of course. Thats a hell of a line up though. My takeaway from it though is that I Am Morbid being over hopefully means they’ll make it over here at some point seen as they skipped doing the 30th Anniversary of ‘Covenant’. Similar with Immolation, been wanting to see them for a long time

UPDATE:

Therapy?’s social media has actually spoilt the 4th Stage Sunday Special Guest slot. It’s…

No one posts in there. It's not a ratings hit. 

It is in the key demo though, and that’s all that matters

After several failed attempts over the past 9 years, I finally got into and listened to all of the New Generation Podcast. Hurrah. Anyone know what the guys are up to these days and if they're all OK? Mad to think that by the time I got to the end, it's already been finished for 5 years.

I’m just coming to the end of another relisten of it.

None ste especially active on social media any more and I believe Stewart moved away after it finished. There was a period towards the end where they went a few months without an episode as he was having a poor time with his mental health. Hopefully he’s OK in whatever he’s doing now, but I’m sure I remember seein he something about him having moved

Still waiting.

Already said it in the PPV thread, but to keep your Majesty happy…

Well bugger me. 
I’ll admit when I’m wrong and it just goes to show “anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation”

If anyone wants to use my presale code & link for tomorrow morning I’ve listed it below. I won’t be going so it might as well be used by someone else to get a decent seat

Oh god I’ve just had a thought. This opens the door for an AJ Lee return doesn’t it.

Boooo!

Well bugger me.

Happy to admit I was wrong and just goes to show “anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation”

The Hope Conspiracy have released a new EP today (‘Confusion/Chaos/Missry’). Well worth it if you’ve got a spare 10 minutes

Some might already be aware, but for those that arn’t
